Ukraine's security agencies on Friday demanded the United Nations and Red Cross immediately react to killing of prisoners of war in a Russian-held jail, noting the two bodies had given guarantees the detainees would be well treated.

In a joint statement issued after a meeting called by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the agencies said the U.N. and Red Cross should send investigative teams to probe the deaths.
